A federal judge has voided former Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's court-martial sentence and subsequent rulings on the case by military judges, setting up the possibility that he could request a reinstatement of rank or change of status for his dishonorable discharge.
Senior Judge Reggie Walton, of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., issued an order Tuesday that partially granted the federal government's motion to dismiss the Bergdahl case. But Walton ruled in favor of Bergdahl's argument that the Army judge in his case failed to disclose a possible conflict of interest -- that he had applied for a civilian position at the Justice Department while presiding over the court-martial.
As a result of his decision, Walton decided to vacate all orders and rulings issued by the judge, Col. Jeffery Nance, as of Oct. 16, 2017 -- the day Bergdahl pleaded guilty to charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy and the day Nance applied for a position as a federal immigration judge. Walton also vacated all subsequent decisions by appellate military courts in the case.
"Consequently, the judgment of the military judge regarding the plaintiff's court-martial is rendered void," Walton wrote.
Bergdahl pleaded guilty in 2017 to all charges and requested a dishonorable discharge in lieu of prison time. He received that dishonorable discharge, but also was sentenced to reduction to the rank of private and forfeiture of $10,000 in pay.

Sounds like the Court Martial Judge screwed up big time.
The judge ought not to have lied.
I read this and my first thought was “So what? They have managed to diminish the military in every way possible, now they are just bouncing the rubble.”
That was a kick in the nuts by a grinning someone who has you down on the ground. In this case that “grinning someone” is the Left.
Being a traitor and getting people killed because of it should be punished as the laws prescribe. But now it is okay.
Go figure.
Almost as if there’s a desire to anger decent Americans.
Like say, to cause people to snap and bring more control over the people.
It’s okay, it’s “for the children” after all.
Send him to Ukraine to complete the time he owes the Army while he was off cavorting with the enemy.
Did the judge lie, or just not disclose? Is taking a civilian job a conflict of interest?

Did the judge lie, sorry it repeated.
not sure I follow the reasoning. Bowe pleaded guilty. He wasn’t tried in a court of law where this judge presided. The Judge just accepted his plea.
Scum.
